D.HabitatforHumanity.【答案】21.A22.C23.D【解析】【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章简要介绍了四项适合青少年参加的志愿者项目。【21题详解】细节理解题。根据第一项活动“Foodbanksalwaysweledonationsandnewvolunteers.Theyprovideperfectvolunteeringopportunitiesforthosewhoareinterestedinhelpingthehomeless.(食品银行总是欢迎捐款和新的志愿者。他们为那些有兴趣帮助无家可归者的人提供了完美的志愿服务机会)”以及第二项活动“Asoupkitchenisoneoftheplaceswherethehungrycangetfreeoraffordablemeals(usuallysoupandbread).Mostsoupkitchensrunprimarilyondonationsandthegenerosityofpeople.(施粥处是饥饿的人可以得到免费或负担得起的食物（通常是汤和面包）的地方之一。大多数施粥所主要靠捐款和人们的慷慨来运转)”可知，这两项活动的食物都是来自捐赠，即它们有相似的食物来源。故A项正确。【22题详解】细节理解题。根据第三项活动的介绍“ByvolunteeringforMealsonWheels,yourteenwilldelivernutritiousmealstotheelderlyorthedisabled.

It’sperfectforteenswhohavejustreceivedtheirdrivinglicenseandloveanyreasontogetbehindthewheel!(通过“送餐上门”的志愿活动，你的孩子将为老人或残疾人提供有营养的饭菜。这对刚刚收到他们的驾驶执照和喜欢任何理由坐在方向盘后面的青少年是完美的！）”可知，MealsonWheels这一项目主要是给老人和残疾人送餐，所以会开车是一个很大的优势。因此喜欢开车的Jack最适合MealsonWheels。故C项正确。【23题详解】细节理解题。根据第四项活动的介绍“HabitatforHumanity’smissionistobuildorimproveaplacethatsomeonecouldcallhome.Besideshelpingthemunity,yourteenwilllearnvaluableskillssuchasrepairing,fundraising,painting,andbuilding.(HabitatforHumanity的使命是建造或改善一个人们可以称之为家的地方。除了帮助社区，你的孩子还会学到有价值的技能，比如修理、筹款、绘画和建筑）”可知，在HabitatforHumanity这项活动中，青少年可以学到多种技能。故D项正确。BWhenIlearnedthatmy71yearoldmotherwasplayingScrabble—awordgame—againstherself,IknewIhadtodosomething.Myhusbandsuggestedwegiveheraputertoplayagainst.Iwasn’tsuremymotherwasreadyforit.Afterall,ithadtaken15yearstopersuadehertobuyanelectriccooker.Evenso,wepackedupouroldputeranddeliveredittomyparents’home.Andsobeganmymother’sadventureintheworldofputers.Italsomarkedthebeginningofanunusualteachingtaskforme.I’dtaughtpeopleofallages,butIneverthoughtIwouldbeteachingmymotherhowtodoanything.Shehadbeentheoneteachingmeallmylife:tocookandsew,toenjoythegoodtimesandputupwiththebad.Nowitwasmyturntogivesomethingback.Itwasn’teasyatthebeginning.Therewassomuchtoexplainandtointroduce.Slowlybutsurely,mymothercaughton,makingnotesinalittlenotebook.AfterafewmonthsofScrabbleandothergames,Idecideditwastimetointroducehertowordprocessing.Thisprovedtobeabiggerchallengetoher,soIgavehersomehomework.Iaskedhertowritemealetter,usingdifferentlettertypes,colorsandspaces.“Areyouthisdemandingwithyourkindergartenpupils?”sheasked.“No,ofcoursenot,”Isaid.“Theyalreadyknowhowtouseaputer.”Mymotherisn’ttheonlyoneexperiencingafastpersonalgrowthperiod.Thankstotheputer,myfatherhasfinallygotoverhisphoneallergy.ForaslongasIcanremember,anytimeIcalled,mymotherwouldanswer.DadandIhavehadmorephoneconversationsinthelasttwomonthsthanwe’vehadinthepast20years.24.Whydidtheauthordecidetogivehermotheraputer?A.Tohelpherthroughthebadtimes.B.Tomakeherlifemoreenjoyable.C.Tosupportherindoingherhomework.D.Toletherhavemorechancestowriteletters.25.Whatdoestheauthordoaccordingtothetext?A.Sheisateacher.
